Squint surgery

[Browner30]

Hello all, over the last 6 weeks I have had 3 squint surgeries, it turns out I have something call horror Fusionis which means my brain can't combine the two imgages that the eyes see so I always see double. My consultant has been brilliant I cannot thank him enough for all the time he has had to spend on me. I have to wait 4-6 weeks to go back and hope and pray in that time the double vision goes or I will have to lose the sight in one eye. Has anyone else had this that may be able to give me some hope or even answers, even if it isn't what I am hoping for I would rather know. Many thanks

Thank you for your reply, I have already read that prisms won't work for me, I just wonder if anyone else has experienced it.

Many thanks for coming back to me

In ophthalmology, horror fusionis is a condition in which the eyes have an unsteady deviation, with the extraocular muscles performing spasm-like movements that continuously shift the eyes away from the position in which they would be directed to the same point in space, giving rise to diplopia. Even when the double vision images are made to nearly overlap using optical means such as prisms, the irregular movements prevent binocular fusion. The name horror fusionis (Latin phrase literally meaning "fear of fusion") arises from the notion that the brain is, or at least appears to be, actively preventing binocular fusion.

The condition is an extreme type of binocular fusion deficiency.[1]
